Blogrofl.
I've been writing my book. In my brain
(Stephen read an excerpt outloud last night at the party in Liz's flat when we were all silly, it was endlessly hilarious, the way he was reading it, as if he was reading the latest news from the edge of the universe)
The universe zorbed
It wobbled when it throbbed.
It burst into dirt.
It flirted with birds whose brains were a thumbnail size that of hominins and therefore had axons which traveled shorter distances along neuron roads back into themselves, while coupled with rapid heartbeat and wingbeat, and evidenced by gamma synchrony observed in latest brain imaging, therefore generating high frequencies of conscious moments, therefore producing the subjective effect of time moving in slow motion, 1/100x speed. It was also noted that information over sillicon transistors traveled trillions of times this speed. Funny thing about computers and homonins, neither one thought the other had consciousness.
(I wish I recorded Stephen's oratory. I have soforth refused to return MrSans to his rightful owner (Your Numble Narrator) for the blissful inconvenience of it, from my good friend Geoff in whose car it was left in a month ago. MrSans, if interrogated, may reveal recordings of all of us in the car lmao, inparticular of Stephen being hilarious. (And I wish I recorded this throat singing/beatboxing performance I did, it was beautiful-- Alexis asked me to show her and her friend throat singing, "Oh what do you mean, the kind Tibetan monks do?" I inquired teasingly. "Yes!" I cleared my throat, and then sang out of it. The drone grew into a glossololing chant. To a glossolmao with a beat and resistent laughter. To an all out monkrave. Resoluting about a final om with the last volume of my breath. Alexis agreed it was my best. I am thrilled to have blown my own mind, with the kinds of music and sound which can emanate from my spontaneous creative brain, and how their form fit nicely to the topology of human entertainment.))
SeRpEnTsOrCiA A lot of the time, if I return to a place I haven't been for a while, I'll be rushed with memories I had completely forgotten about
SeRpEnTsOrCiA It's usually pretty intense lmao
SeRpEnTsOrCiA I'm probably going to faint when I see you
SeRpEnTsOrCiA Actually, yeah. Most likely.
I wanted Ann to want to read an excerpt and so I typed more up, while she was in the shower (SeRpEnTsOrCiA: Pssssh I'm going to see more designs in the semi darkness than you :-P), continuing on:
While homonins long knew animals were sentient, this knowledge was lost during a dark period of time known as the scientific revolution, whereupon animals and plants were seen as having little intelligence, creativity, moral standing, or artistic ability. This was easily disproven in the 21st century with the first experiments in animal augmentation. The fraugs we uplifted quickly explained to us what they've been croaking about all this time, and after a series of negotiations, divulged to us entire libaries frog knowledge on the Earth, including the use of DNA and entire catalogues of famous frog symphonies (which are typically known to last 100s of years, and thus generally imperceptiblely esoteric to those audiences who haven't been listening to the start ) . It was also noted that for pure light time passed instantly, and the question of whether something made entirely of light could be conscious was often reduced by philosophers in debates at transtranshumanist meetups in Irish bars to the trifling idea that either light perceived itself as infinitely awesome, or in a state of dead non-existence. Others proposed light to be in a state of oscillation between the two; a perpetual oscillation. Others proposed the the question of what suffering was. Many believed suffering to be the one infallible truth of nature (Buddha, -500). Others believed the elimination of suffering ought to be the one true objective of science (Pearce, 2009). Science conjured up endless data on pain receptors, but had no clue what exactly suffering was, or the geometry of its qualia. Still others proposed tinkering with the mechanics of suffering and bliss (Cortexelus 2009). Cortexelus wondered about an oscillation betwen extreme suffering and pure bliss; and wondered about a mechanism which could produce the subjective effect of this blissuffering oscillation. What would that feel like? Suffering for 5 seconds, bliss for 5 seconds, suffering for 5 seconds, bliss for 5 seconds? Or how about 1hz? 10hz? 100hz? 1000hz? At what point do bliss and suffering become indistinguishable? At what point would one feel a brand new sensation? Would one become desensitized to these feelings? Or, would the extremities of feeling alter and slow down one's perception of time? Such a device, named Blissuffer (which after one generations of its meme was re-pronounced to rhyme with Lucifer), was built but subsequently no human ever had the yables to try it. However, numerous documented tests on fraugs have been performed. The question of ethics was raised on the use of sentient animal subjects, however these tests were performed the expressed interest of the fraugs. "We've been on this Earth for 250 million years" they reasoned. We found them were a proud, daring species. "We friggen crawled out of the ocean". In at least one case, fraugs have even been known to sneak out of their rooms at night, break in, and throw Blissuffer parties. Everyone thought this was so cute, and so the scientists at the lab let them get away with it. A prototypical neo-archiac fraug underground fraug religion grew from this. Apparently, the bliss and suffering long reminded them of their ancient marine/land oscillation. "The ancient subjective feeling," as is described in the one frogopedia from their library (loosely translated), "proved to have immense extremity of sensation... following milions of years of desensitization." Unfortunately for the fraugs, this inclination to desensitization proved addicting in the case of their Blissuffer parties. Fraugs turned up the intensity higher and higher, daring each other. The intense indifference of normal life for these fraugs led to a revolution in existential philosophy. This revolution proved to be the first cultural recognition of fraug intelligence (frart, as they insisted it being called), and since then fraugs, daugs, groundhaugs, and others have integrated into homonid society. One historian speculates if it were not for this popularity, the fraugs would have committed suicide out of intense indifference. This historian was heavily criticized for having missed the entire point of existentialism.

Her reaction:
SeRpEnTsOrCiA *is in the reads*
SeRpEnTsOrCiA I fucking love you
SeRpEnTsOrCiA That is so awesome XD
SeRpEnTsOrCiA omg
SeRpEnTsOrCiA lmfao
SeRpEnTsOrCiA You should publish when you're done, the ideas are so amazing XD
SeRpEnTsOrCiA It reminds me of what I imagine hitchhikers to be like
SeRpEnTsOrCiA though I've never read it XD
SeRpEnTsOrCiA XDDDDDD
SeRpEnTsOrCiA You're really talented o.o
SeRpEnTsOrCiA I love that you can tell stories ><
SeRpEnTsOrCiA All of your other intelligences blow me away
SeRpEnTsOrCiA But like
SeRpEnTsOrCiA When I think of the ideal person for me to be with, you know, I keep their talents vague enough so I won't be disappointed that they can't tell stories
SeRpEnTsOrCiA But you tell amazing stories ><
SeRpEnTsOrCiA You should feel really proud, but I'm sure you do, LOL
o_o *is just astonished at your endless, endless love and support, esp. when being told I can tell stories, coming from the biggest literary geek in existence*
I'm pretty much writing my book nonlinearly. More like a fractal. Like just start writing at all these different spots. And then fill in the details between them. And then more details of details. Etc. 90 percent of what's in my mind is made up of things I've already written. It's mostly a matter of piecing it together.
(8:06:02 PM) EmperorcJ: O-O WHOA REMIX INFINITY BuTTERFLY DAY INTO A MUSIC VIDEO
My friend Ashley from Golden Bay adventures was telling me about this action-fantasy story she's writing, she's 170 pages through, and there's all this character development, and while she was describing her story I was writing mine in my own head.
EmperorcJ and i think itll have all these layers to it
EmperorcJ like simultaneous stories that are all the same story
EmperorcJ like, all influencing each other metaphysically
SeRpEnTsOrCiA o.o
SeRpEnTsOrCiA that's like russian lit
EmperorcJ is it? whoa
SeRpEnTsOrCiA russian lit is nuts, lol
EmperorcJ its going to be cyclic too, so the bottom story influences the top story
EmperorcJ i mean, it has to be, or else i'm not cj
SeRpEnTsOrCiA : P
EmperorcJ whoa, ill have to read more for inspiration
EmperorcJ like, one is regular life, and it's a boy and a girl in love
EmperorcJ but its really a computer simulation, and there's this network of artificial intelligence, and i might write this part in code or something
SeRpEnTsOrCiA o-o
EmperorcJ but everything's really all this one transhuman dude's augmented reality, and he's walking through nature alone in a lucid dream, on all these psychedelics, in the future, maybe near future
SeRpEnTsOrCiA o-o
SeRpEnTsOrCiA lol
SeRpEnTsOrCiA whoa
EmperorcJ but its really all the machine elves playing around under the covers of reality
SeRpEnTsOrCiA xD
SeRpEnTsOrCiA whoa!
SeRpEnTsOrCiA You have really good ideas ^^
EmperorcJ but really all of this is happening on a drop of dew on an insect's back
EmperorcJ like that sort of thing
EmperorcJ and the insect is flying around the boy while he's typing to the girl online
Blaug
One day I think our blogs will be a mashup of direct audio from conversations.
I wish to think up of a feasible way this could work with little effort and slavery.
I imagine the augmentation:
1) Capture audio, convert to text.
2) Capture brainwaves. Segment moments where I was most enthralled/stimulated/in the flow/gamma waves/whatever. Edit together a compilation of these moments, based on the emotions I had.
3) Publish automagically.
This would be MOST AWESOME with Video, I think.
